Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Better than the series
Because fans stayed away from this film in droves, Lucy and Desi never made another movie together. Too bad, because the film is far superior to the series. Credit should go to veteran director Vincente Minelli and his sure hand in balancing the material. Against all odds: Ball's slapstick is drained of usual shrillness, Desi's star is allowed to shine, situation is raised above personality, and peripheral crowd scenes are heightened to hilarious commentary on busybody middle America. In fact, this is one of few 50's movies to capture spirit of a rising middle class: the buoyant optimism, the credit card dependency, the aping of upper class tastes. All is accomplished, nevertheless, with an underlying sweetness that might not be expected from two overaged stars then in the process of subduing the tigers of TV land. Moreover, the choice of a trailer gimmick for the comedy setting was an inspired one. A true little gem and document of its time.
Rating: - Marvelous!
First, I'd like to clear something up. The reviewer who said Lucy and Desi never made another movie together after this, is wrong. The made one more film, which was 1957's Forever Darling.In this 1954 comedy, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz light up the screen as newlyweds Tacy and Nicky Collini. Tacy's dream house is a mobile home, although Nicky would rather have a real house. Before their wedding, they decide to purchase a 28-foot long trailer and as soon as they say "I Do," the happy couple hits the road on a cross-country honeymoon. But there are some bumps up ahead. Lucy and Desi were truly a fantastic duo and it shows in the Long, Long Trailer. This was a wonderful, laugh-out-loud comedy that all fans of I Love Lucy will love!
Rating:  - The Long, Long Trailer...A Long Time Favorite!
A fun film for the whole family to enjoy. Parents need not worry about kids seeing this one. Lucy & Desi play newlywed couple Nicholas (Nicky) & Tacy Callini. Nicky's career will be taking him far away from home a good deal of the time, so Tacy decides that instead of a house, they need a luxury trailer to haul along to each job site. After some initial reservations on Nicky's part, he agrees to buy a monstrous, 40-ft trailer home to accomodate Tacy's wishes. Everything starts out well enough until a series of mishaps incur and almost drive the couple out of their minds. Some great slapstick in a cute film, especially when Tacy tries to make a fancy dinner in the trailer while Nicky is hauling it over some bumpy terrain. Lucy & Desi were at the height of their popularity when they made this film, thanks to "I Love Lucy". The film is not as zany as the t.v. show and the characters are more subdued, but it's great fun none-the-less. And it's also nice that Lucy's looks are put to advantage in full Technicolor.
